I haven't skied in five or six winters, and used to love the moguls. It was rough on the back and knees but fun. Made for really good wipe-outs too. :D

But those dudes go really fast and when they fly up in the air...they only look out of control! lmfao

That's too funny :D

I wonder why we even sent a team to Italy! Aside from the young lady that nearly broke her back practicing for the downhill and then competing a couple days later, there really isn't anything to catch my excitement yet

But my girl let me down! Uschi Disl place only 13th in the Women's 15km individual biathlon the other day. And I was away from the house all day, so I didn't get to check the results of Thursday's event.

Canada scored four medals today! Outstanding!

Lovin' the winter over the summer olympics the best I think.
REALLY facinated by the "skeleton" style luge they're doing........talk about your dangerous sport! :eek:
Those women who do it are brave......but I wonder if they have breast protection or some sort of body armour under their clothing? :p

The skeleton, the luge and snowboarding are the ones we keep discussing in class the most. I saw the ladies skeleton last night and the one lady announced she was 2 months pregnant. They run and flop down, I was nervous for her.

Steph 02-17-2006 08:53 AM

Two months pregnant!?!?! :eek:

I often question the parents of these athletes. I can't imagine letting my kid jump on a luge!

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Fucking hate shootouts! Stupid fucking way to decide a team game.

Sweedish Women get to play for the gold medal, US Women will play for bronze, all due to the fucked rules of the IIHF.

What the heck was the event I saw last night...the one where they were on snowboards but in a pack like a race instead of the one-man-down-at-a-time thing? I've never seen anything like that before!

wyndhy 02-17-2006 02:56 PM

WildIrish 02-17-2006 02:58 PM
